In tap into a snifter at the pub... This looks great, a dark molasses brown, glassy amber sheen to it. A light tan head about one finger, good retention and lacing. Looks great... The aroma is tons of peat, bark, smoke, scotch, a hint of salt, toffee. Very sharp but pretty good... The taste has way too much scotch and smoke, too liquorish for me, very hot... This is tastey but a sipper.

A- brew is a deep reddish brown color with 1 or 1.5 fingers of slightly tan head. the head vanishes somewhat quickly but so does the beer... =)

T- very balanced taste (not overly hoppy, not overly malty). the 8.7% alcohol is well hidden (no alcohol taste detected). similar tasting to Three Floyd's Robert The Bruce, this is a strong Scottish ale that will put you down for the count if you let it. Sooo tasty.

M- mouthfeel is good. not overly creamy and not too thin. a good medium mouthfeel.

Very drinkable, but watch yourself - these will sneak up on you if you get careless. It's dangerous because the beer is so damn delicious and easy to drink/enjoy, yet so very strong. Get some food to go with it. One of my favorite beers that they brew. Gitchoo some.

Served in a snifter, it had a scant amount of foam, just a patchy skim. The color was attractive, a deep ruby red when held to the light. As it was sipped, the foam disappeared completely.

Aroma was lightly smoky, malty with a tobacco element. Flavor had a solid dose of peaty smoke, dry and mildly bitter, not sweet. It had a fairly rich feel to it, but was very easy to drink. Lower carbonation. The abv wasn't detected at all.

Overall it was very nice, and i'd get it again when visiting the brewpub.
